How to increase running speed

Your running has become faster, it is necessary to work simultaneously on three main components: a powerful impetus, proper technique and a good stretch.Thanks to a powerful push, you can do more steps for the same period of time, a good stretch is needed to increase the length of the step, and without good technique you will not be able to direct the energy of the whole body.

Develop the power of a push with the help of plyometric exercises. They make muscles work harder than normal and promote active growth of muscle fibers. The most simple exercise – is to overcome training distance on one leg. Pushing powerfully, sharply, try to go the distance as quickly as possible with long jumps.
